Package : php7.4 Version : 7.4.33-1+deb11u8 CVE ID : CVE-2025-1217 CVE-2025-1219 CVE-2025-1734 CVE-2025-1736 CVE-2025-1861

Multiple security issues were found in PHP, a widely-used open source general purpose scripting language, which could result in HTTP request smuggling, validation bypass or denial of service.

CVE-2025-1217

Tim Dsterhus discovered that the header parser of the `http` stream wrapper does not handle folded headers and passes incorrect MIME types to an attached stream notifier.

CVE-2025-1219

Tim Dsterhus discovered that when requesting a HTTP resource using the DOM or SimpleXML extensions, the wrong `content-type` header is used to determine the charset when the requested resource performs a redirect.

CVE-2025-1734

It was discovered that the streams HTTP wrapper does not fail for headers with invalid name and no colon, thereby violating RFC-mandated behavior.

CVE-2025-1736

It was discovered that the stream HTTP wrapper header check might omit basic auth header in some cases.

CVE-2025-1861

It was discovered that the stream HTTP wrapper truncate redirect location to 1024 bytes, while the RFC-recommended length is 8000 and browsers usually limit to around 2048.

GHSA-wg4p-4hqh-c3g9

An out of bound read was discovered in the XML parsing logic when `XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART` is set to a high value and the XML document has shorter tag names than expected.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 7.4.33-1+deb11u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your php7.4 packages.
